Abstract:The objective of this study was to evaluate the foliar application of copper oxide nanoparticles (NPs-CuO) on the phytochemical quality, yield, catalase and peroxidase activity of the hydroponic lettuce crop. Five concentrations (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 mg/L) of NPs-CuO and a control (0 mg/L) were compared. The experiment was established in a completely randomized design with five repetitions. Data were analyzed with analysis of variance and mean comparisons using Tukey's test (0.05). The results indicate that, u… Show more
